Wall-mounting a 65" panel when there's a plug socket behind?

[wax lyrical]

Need some advice please guys. I want to buy and wall-mount (flush as possible) a LG OLED 65C24la, but where it needs to be on the wall, there is a 2-point socket directly behind it, sticking out of the wall by over 2 cms. So when the TV's power plug is attached, that will stich out even more.

Ideas please? I don't want the hassle of moving the plus point down to the floor, cutting into the wall, etc,

Is the only option a 'cantilever' type wall mount?

swap the socket for a fused spur style switch, with base cable entry. Chop the plug off the TV cable and wire directly into the aforementioned.
This should get your needed space down to no more than 20mm or so.
Alternatively, if the wall is plasterboard / hollow, recess the existing socket back inside the wall, I did this with a fake chimney breast and ended up with the whole thing completely recessed and was able to have the TV completely flat.

The C2 mounting holes are in the bottom half of the panel, and there is a big gap above where plugs can go

OP - be very quick with the purchase as that TV is about to be out of stock never to be seen again - stocks are running low.

Nice TV though

Looking to be very thin on the ground already. Is the replacement not as good?

It’s incrementally better, but with a more than incremental increase in price.

Thanks for all the advice and input, guys. Much appreciated!

Unless it's an exterior wall, you could move the socket to the other side of the wall? Easy job.

I recess my double sockets into the wall behind TVs so that they won’t stick out.

I.e cut a wider box out so that the whole socket is recessed into the wall. And the socket ends up flush with the wall. As it’s behind a tv, it doesn’t even have to be the best finish but you can make it quite tidy if you want to.

If it's a plasterboard wall, you could just replace the double socket with a single and push it back inside the hole after plugging in the TV. Obviously remove the back box, and turn off the power before you start. A bit messy, but you won't see it. You could tidy it up a bit by cutting away the back of the box, and refitting it as a trim for the hole.

I was originally going to hang my 65" from a basic bracket, but quickly realised that hooking it on (and off, if I needed to change anything) would be a right pain, and opted for a fully adjustable dual cantilever bracket. A new 65" set is still suprisingly heavy and tricky to handle for one person. Telly can easily be pulled out from the wall to get to the connections, and it's adjustable for tilt and rotation to get the angle spot on.

My TV is recessed into a custom partition wall, so plenty of depth behind for a triple drywall box, with a double 13a socket and a brush plate for all the signal cables.

I’m planning to get the 65C3 LG OLED now. £1,900 less a £650 store credit (re: old warranty claim) from the Retailer. So a good deal.

Anyone have one and can advise what the back looks like for wall mounting?

In your shoes I would now consider getting this . . . assuming your retailer has stock?
